I also think it would be awesome to have a few of the bodybuilders hit some poses in the cage or booth. From Animal and Universal side!

More theatrics.....

Light show, smoke, more hype! You guys are featuring some of the best the sport has to offer. Make it special. I know you guys like it raw but this is quite an event. Have introductions to rival NBA intros. Just a thought you guys are doing a great job.

1.Another Dan Green seminar would be cool for sure
2. Gotta get Jesse Norris back in the cage
3. Deadlift party with Garrett and Simon from Massthetics
4. Pete Rubish is a must!
5. The hypeman pushing Gunzs to another cage PR is always the highlight for me.

Bring back the Box. Bleachers were a nice idea but being outside the Cage didn't work. Too many random people just camped out there the whole day. Lost some of that family feel that has always been part of going to the Cage.

Also alot of wasted space and alot of confusion with the clothing racks. A few samples hanging or hung up would have been better.

me personally thought the bleachers where a good idea but last years animal booth was so packed I didn't get near it as much as years past. good for the company bad for me lol I always wanted to see the booth get bigger and from rumors it looks like that's gonna happen. last year you guys had a spot for Athletes to sign autos outside the cage, I think set up a few at each corner thought out the day to get more opportunity's to meet them all.

Set up and structural issues aside (whatever they may have been from last year), I trust Animal will adjust and make it the best experience possible this year...and from what I hear it is going to be just that.

I can just remember that last year, I had TONS of people asking me if they could buy any of the paks. Pak and Flex especially. Definitely could have sold a ton of that last year even though I know this would be a lot of extra stuff to bring and may complicate the store a little more...Just a thought.

Last year I spent at least an hour everyday walking around the booth and the cage picking up empty wrappers, bottles, hangers etc. If I had a broom I would have done that as well. However I def would hate to see the confetti show, that's just not ANIMAL! think the Black and White dungeon fill is much better...

Do a contest where the fans get to be the handler for each of the lifters during the Cage. For instance, each fan would get invited in when their respective lifter is lifting and help put plates on, spot, and just shoot the breeze with their athlete.

There might be liability issues, I don't know. Also, wouldn't each lifter want a specific type of handler who could handle specific types of things? You can't just pull anyone from the audience, right?

Could do it, as more of a"Roadie"-type thing. Do it as a PROMO, like what was done with "Train With The Pros". And let the Athletes pick the winners.

One suggestion I would have would be to mount a tv or 2 to the top of the cage that has a live video of what's going on inside. This is sort of a selfish request, as I found myself being bummed to not see any of the lifts on Saturday while working the merch table, but it would definitely benefit all the people who get crowded out, or who are standing in line to buy stuff. Might have to tell higa not to climb shit, tho...
